of Indian Affairs, and it is now reported that he
will resign General Atkins was appointed from
Tennessee in 1885, but two years of official life
have convinced him that all is not gold that gilt

dpon the theory that all his friends were honest.
He has appointed his own relatives and numer-
Gus friends to Office in the Indian Bureau of the
service, secured their appointment elsewhere,
and in nearly every instance they have turned
out badly and dsgraced themselves and their
friends.
At the solicitation of Mr.. Lamar and other
prominent Democrats, including several Sena-
tors, ne has appointed their respective relatives
and friends. and these have almost universally
followed the dsgraceful example of the other
appointees. Speculation in traderships and po-
iitical iobbery OF various kinds have so scandal

said to be mortified beyond measure He
is not only mortified, but ne is

Senator Shermans letter to the Buckeye Club

attracted much interest here and the Senator's
admission that he does not expect to succeed is
thought to be based on his knowledge that Sen

obey the mandates of the Republican caucus.

FROM CONVICT TO PRIME MINISTER.

The Romantic Career of Count Andrassy,
Once Sentenced Death.
New York Evening World
VIENNA, Dec. 26-Emperor Francis Joseph,
in the letter which accompanied his Christmas
gift to Count Andrassy, says that the present is
given in recognition of the hospitality extended
to the Emperor by Count Andrassy during the
military maneuvers. The gift is generally be-
lieved, however, to have political significance,
the opinion being that the Emperor wished to
express his approval of Count Andrassy's ener-
getic policy. 1t is stated that when the Count
returned from the Berlin congress the Emperor
wished to raise him to the rank of Prince, and
asked several of the Hungarian Ministers to try
to induce him to accept the honor. Count An
Grassy, however. refused the title. and also de-
clned TO accept an order, SO that the Emperor5
only way to honor the Count was to send him an
autograph letter of thanks which is priced by
the Count as the highest of his Austrian dis
tinctionS.
Count Julius Andrassy, who was born in 1928
was of the leaders of the Hungarian revo-
luton against the Austrian government in 1S48
and was sentenced to death for the prominent
part he took therein. Fortunately he succeeded
in making his escape just in time, and sought
refuge in England. On his arrival there in a
state of complete restitution, he was most
kindly and Hospitality received by a young
tachs of the Austrian consulate general, who at
the risk of his whole future and of immediate
disgrace, cared for the wants of the Hungarian
patriot for many mouths.
The name of this young man was Ignatz Won
Schaeffer, who held the post of Austrian minis
ter plenipotentiary at Washington until eighteen
months ago. In 1857 general amnesty enabled
Count Andrassy, who is the head of one of the
Oldest Hungarian families to return to his
tive country, In 1860 he was elected Vice-presi-
dent of the Hungarian Parliament, and in 1867,
on the coronation of the Emperor and Empress
of Austria as King and Queen Of Hungary he
became Prime Minister of the kingdom. Among
the principal acts of his administration were the
civil and political emancipation of the Hebrews.
In 1871. on the resignation of Count Bsust.
he became Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Premier OF the entire empire, and as such at
tended the Berlin Congress, in 1878. retiring in
the following year in consequence of his aver

natural in a Magyar nagnate. Married to
of the most beautiful and statuesQue women Of
her time, the Count Is of slight and exceedingly
elegant figure, with masses of curly, brown
hair and a sngularly refined yet far from

A Scheme That Threatens the Maritime Su-

Cable Special New York Tribune.
Liverpool is alarmed by q report that the Lon

Manchester ship-canal threatens to destroy the
railway freight business between Liverpool and
Manchester, SO the railway people think they can
turn the flank of the enemy by going to Holy
head. So they can if they can get American lin

now discovering, has great faults as port of de-
parture and arrival The tide usually compels
steamers to sail so early that passengers from Lon
don must leave the night before and spend a night

would cost less than 81 000 900, This is certain
to be done sometime At present every effort is
made, by building fast ships, to shorten the At
